Back Surgery

Chiropractic care is a very effective treatment for low back pain. Most patients that come to our office end with a very favorable result. A few cases have led to the need of surgical intervention. This is uncommon but as your provider it is important to recognize when other treatments might be necessary.

Surgeries are rarely needed. These cases are when the lower spine becomes unstable and needs to be fused. This process is when two or more vertebrae are fused together to eliminate this instability. Injuries such as fractures can also be a causation for the need for surgery. Other factors can be when a vertebra slides forward of another vertebrae (spondylolisthesis) or severe age-related degenerative changes. Certain disc issues such as an extruded disc may also qualify.

Surgeries should only be performed after all non-surgical approaches have been exhausted. Severe disability such as loss of sensation or motor function might be when to consider seeing a surgeon. Neurological deficits and unrelenting pain that is severely debilitating can wear on even the toughest of people. Be as conservative as you can and explore all your options. Chiropractic works. As remarkable as chiropractic care can be some conditions might need additional help. Your doctor needs to identify these situations and get you referred to the proper place.

Most muscular skeletal conditions and injuries respond well to conservative chiropractic care. It is important to address these situations early on to have the best hope of resolution.
